Going on consecutive hour 8 of painful menstrual cramps. Tried sleeping, but no such luck, too much pain.
I wish people understood this is what I mean when I say I don’t function well on my period. Instead I’m told to “go take a midol” or “it’s all in your head”
I often times can’t sit up straight when I’m cramping, and the cramps last for HOURS at a time for several days. I don’t sleep because of the pain, pain relievers don’t even touch the amount of pain I’m in. The pain goes from my head down to my toes, a full body ache.
Just tired of it. And the only help from doctors I’ve been given is birth control and so far, every type I’ve tried has made me suicidal.
I just want to sleep 😭
